Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
Good news: My kidney stones have passed and I'm back to my pussy slinging self.
Bad news: I quit smoking about 2 months ago. Ever since, I've had the worst tonsil stones. I thought all of the antibiotics I was on for my kidneys would clear them up (I even changed toothbrushes), but I'm still getting them. I do plan on getting my tonsils removed soon, but in the mean time, does anyone have any gargle or rinse recipes that work? I already have a removal tool for the stones, but totally getting rid of them would be awesome.

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
I sometimes feel like an old lady. My imunity or something must be fucked up. And this keeps happening since I had my thyroid removed. Fuck fuck fuck. Now I have blepharitis. It hurts my eyes so bad (its the dry skin around the eyes/really painfull aswell). Did any of you girls had this? And do you know anything that helps? I want to wear my make up again. It is my passion, the fact that i can't wear my make up hurts evan more than the actual skin pain LOL.

I'm trying to get my insurance back to I can get my meds back, cuz without them, I'm feeling pretty hopeless. :( I wish the government was a little more understanding about what classifies someone as "disabled", at least disabled enough to need my medication if they expect me to have a job. :(
Sorry this is late, but do you still have a prescription for it? it's like $25 at walmart for a 30 day supply without insurance. Check goodrx.com as well. sometimes they have coupons for meds AND you can see which pharmacy has your meds for the lowest price in your area.

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
Apparently I thought I had posted in here but can't find my post anywhere, weird! I have anxiety and some depression as well as pretty bad rheumatoid arthritis. I also get extremely exhausted and have dizzy spells over the littlest things and it sucks. I haven't gone to the doctor about all this, although I know I should but the anxiety stops me. I figure once I move in a few months here I can get some of this figured out. Camming has been such a blessing. I am on assistance but with camming I am trying to break free of that and support myself! I wish everyone the best!

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
Thought I'd post in here since being sick is the reason I cam. I have fibromyalgia and could never hold an outside job. Joint pain, chronic fatigue, brain fog all can keep me from driving to work, forget standing for hours. So I've always worked online, but never made money like I do camming. But even now, it's getting in the way of camming. IBS means no butt stuff. Fibroids meaning I can't cam for at least the first 4 days of my period. Having PCOS makes me feel so ugly sometimes with how bad my acne and facial hair is. I slather my face in makeup and the guys love it. The compliments help, but I would kill for clear skin. Which I haven't had in 10+ years.

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
Just wanted to check in! Although I have had luck with my thyroid supplements and the myriads of vitamins and minerals I am at my wits end... I still cant always breathe, I can't EVER lose weight unless I go on a liquid diet!.. AND I often feel so tired and exhausted with aches , pains or headaches... so I went ahead and ordered a hair mineral analysis from a very knowledgeable intelligent Practitioner.. been in the facebook group for a few years now and finally decided to go ahead and do it! it's not cheap .. $299.. but I have tried everything and been to the doctors etc etc.. and often time I don't work as much when I don't feel good.. so it's worth the money. If anyone is interested in doing it. PM me.. for his name and facebook group..

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
Saw this thread and thought I would say hello "waves" Here I go I suffer from Severe Anxiety - (Generalized anxiety disorder, sometimes social anxiety) (OCD and Health Anxiety) and in the process of being diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder :eye-poppi: So yeahhhhh this is all fun. Oh and forgot to mention Panic Disorder.

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
My sister got diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, which is GREAT (sorry, sis) because I was done spending money on tests trying to figure out "what's wrong with me?" I'm almost certain I have it too, because of the hereditary likelihood as well as my symptoms which are like hers but thankfully less.
Arthritis since my twenties, fatigue and brain fog are my real stumbling blocks (attributable to the EDS). I've been on meds for depression and anxiety. Like so many of you, a regular job's not an option. I wish I'd started camming so much sooner!
I work weekends only, and it's enough. It's such a huge relief not to have to justify what I think is wrong with the 40-hour workweek any more; I got so used to people questioning my work ethic, suggesting I was a hypochondriac. I love that I don't have to explain myself to anyone. I meet my expenses, put a little aside, and the rest of the week I don't have to think about work.
My only regret is that I don't have the energy/non-achiness to work more hours and squirrel away a huge nestegg! I am being patient with myself, learning to promote, and betting that over time I will build up more of a reputation and make better hourly earnings, rather than putting in more cam hours.

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
On top of all my usual issues I have this bloody rash that just won't go away. The doctor is convinced it is an allergic reaction to some bath stuff I used well over a week ago. Shouldn't the rash be gone by now and not be spreading and getting worse. I keep trying all sorts of things to make the itching and pain go away but nothing is working. Ahhhh
Oh yeah, and I managed to get chapped lips so bad that I have split my lip. I look like I got into a fight. Sooo sexy!

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
I'm just about to start reading through the whole thread but I thought I'd say hello first!
I started camming on MFC about two months ago, but have only broadcasted a total of about 7 hours because I'm a sick, sick girl hahaha *sigh*. At first the guys would message me asking where I was and when I would be on again and I said I wasn't feeling well, but they all gave up on me eventually when it became clear I feel shitty pretty much 24/7. So I'm financially dependent on my boyfriend and parents, and it's fine, but I'd much rather have my own money and not feel so guilty asking for non-necessities, you know?
Anyway, I'm just now undergoing tests to figure out what's wrong, but I've also been doing my own research and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (yay! one of the no-real-treatment illnesses!) sounds JUST like me. I'm going to try to convince my so-far resistant doctor to do more tests to rule out other stuff, and hopefully convince her that the problem is NOT that I'm "just depressed" :banghead: I'm not, and I'm so sick dealing with doctors and psychiatrists who don't listen to me, which is a whole other post.
Now to start at page 1...I hope I come across something that can help me and that I likewise have some helpful advice for some of you! ;D

One of the best things I ever did for my skin was to buy a Clarisonic Mia 2 ... it's expensive but it cleared my skin up unbelievably. Please note I'm not saying this will work for everyone, at all, just it made a difference for me and just maybe something to look into xx
My skin made me feel very down at times, it used to be quite bad. Now you can't tell at all.

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
Turns out one of my new roommates is a 'walking pharmacy.'
AND she has the same health problems as I do.
My health plan doesn't cover meds, and hers does. So she's given me plenty of pills, etc. To hold me over for a while.
I can't go much longer with the lack of sleep I've been getting since everyone moved in here.:sleep:
The migraines and back pain have been crippling.
Bye Bye pain. Bye Bye.:wave:

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
I have bipolar and often times my depressive episodes make it hard for me to be overly cheerful/friendly/inviting. Sometimes I take extra days off to take care of myself, but it seems my new meds are starting to work so that's exciting!

I hear you there. I took like a year and a half off due to depression, anxiety, ptsd etc... I now FINALLY feel emotional "stable" enough to cam but I have been dealing with a host of other medical issues like this damn rash that I have had for two weeks now. I have tried various creams and such and taking benedryl and nothing is working. Might be time to go back to the doctor. But I digress, I wanted to post to say things do get easier camming wise once your meds start working.

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
I am sorry to hear that.. I really do believe that ALL mental illness is in direct correlation to a physical ailment.. I hope no one gets offended by me saying this.. I am living proof of it.. Almost every single family member of mine are on meds for mental illness.. I am not.. I chose a life health and they didn't.. it's pretty tough to deal with it.. I have gone off kilter a few times by my mineral profile being derailed.. it happens..

I knew meds weren't an option. But I thought they might be able to do something more for me than infantilize me. Useless cunts.

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
I was doing pretty well but since I'm essentially being forced to live with someone who is acutely psychotic and emotionally abusive my mental health has gone to shit. (I have bipolar disorder or something like that.) Bipolar disorder means always giving yourself reasons to be ashamed of your behaviour. You don't realize until afterwards that when you think you're being charming you're actually acting like an agitated cokehead. The rest of the time I feel like I'm on a massive comedown (haven't triggered this with drugs, I'm still lucid enough to know that in this state it would be a bad idea), all sad and wounded and listless and agitated, anxious, unable to cope. But I mean I have to cope.
What's the best thing to do? I don't think I could get much professional help on a short notice.
I'm just going to try very hard to stick to my work schedule, eat properly, sleep properly, and exercise, so I can have some semblance of normality and health instead of falling into this deep dark pit with no bottom.
It's sad because there's a lot of stuff I want to do, friendships I want to build, etc, but I don't really trust myself to be around other people right now. I'm a bit erratic and I don't "read" or pay attention to my environment which means... really weird behaviour. I've already massively embarrassed myself once. Honestly I know how bad this can get and it's not nearly there yet. I have to come out of this somehow.

I'm sorry you're suffering so much. In case you need this, please know that you *can* go to A&E with a mental health emergency. Not gonna lie, what they'll be able to do will depend on how competent that particular hospital is, but at a minimum they can explain your options for accessing counselling. This will still not be quick (my friend waited 2 months), but you may as well be on a waiting list while you do all that good stuff you described, like eating, sleeping, and resting.
In addition, Sex Worker Open University run a peer support line you can chat with - http://confideinfo.com/
